Definitely Fallout: New Vegas. The Vault sections/quests just got on my nerves. Plus I couldn't help but feel F3 was the better game. Don't know why :/
Also Mass Effect 2. I already finished it once, but this second play through just makes me bored and sad.

star ocean: til the end of time
final fantasy 10-2
the cell shaded prince of persia
i hated all these games. and dont accuse me of not giving them a fair chance because star ocean i put about 8 hours into and the other two i got about halfway though. i was hoping that eventually they would pick up. they never did. final fantasy 12 would have been on this list but i finally beat it last year, only because my friend bet me that i would never finish the game, because its so bad

i liked the story but i agree about the characters. final fantasy 12 had almost no character development and final fantasy 13 was pretty much all character development...problem is that the more they developed the characters, the more i hated them, especially hope. oh god i have never wanted to kill a member of my team so badly!SpartyTheOneManParty said:
does Guitar Hero 5 count? cause the game sucked balls.
But i have beaten every game i have pla-
oh wait, Starcraft, the first one. Not good at RTSs and just can't stay focused long enough with it. Great Story though. Just not my kind of game at all.

I love VIII. It is a bit extreme though I'll admit; it requires a lot of work. However, I'm willing to shove XIII into the spotlight as the new VIII.febel said:
On that note, I couldn't finish Final Fantasy XIII. I've never actually played a game that insulted my intelligence until I played FF XIII.
Icewind Dale 2: Whoo boy, delving back a bit here. I modded this game out like hell, and still found it unplayable.
Neverwinter Nights 2: I know it has some stellar parts. I know the dialogue's good. I know the expansion is a lot better than the original campaign, and I don't bloody care. Even on a good PC nowadays, the gameplay is painfully bad.
The Witcher: I love these devs for GOG, but I want to dropkick Geralt off a bridge. Into a vat of boiling poo. It's really hard to enjoy an RPG when you loathe the protagonist.

-Half-Life: not because it was bad, I enjoyed it but I always got stuck on those goddamn Xen levels and was a pansy back when it first came out. Didn't touch it for awhile and am actually thinking now that I'm older I should go back and beat it 100%.
-Ultima Underworld II: It just didn't seem very fun compared to #1 and I got tired of it quickly.
-Command & Conquer 4: Because it was terribad. Biggest disappointment of 2010 for me, especially since I used it to break in my first new computer in 7 years.
-Blood II The Chosen: I loved the original Blood to death, but #2 removed almost everything I liked the setting, the horror references, etc. Well, it had ONE good horror reference and that was the fact the silver sphere from Phantasm was a weapon in the game, and actually getting to use it to suck peoples brains out through their eyes was morbidly satisfying.
-Silent Hill Homecoming: It was boring and I gave up because I could maybe play for 30 minutes before getting bored.
-Elder Scrolls I Arena: I snagged the free download of this because Daggerfall is one of my favourite PC games and the first RPG that sucked me in and I also thought Morrowind and Oblivion were fun, but Arena simply doesn't hold up as well compared to the other games.

Dead Space(1,2); Shadow of Chernobyl; Metro 2033; Rise of the Argonauts; F.E.A.R. 1; Red Faction Guerilla; Mirror's Edge; Grand Turismo 5; Star Wars: Empire at War Gold; and one or two more.
Most of these were because of sheer boringness, or I couldn't take horrible graphics (keep in mind that the original Half-Life is still my favourite game), poor storytelling, awful combat etc.

"Dead Rising 2". I loved the first game, but by the time the sequel came out I wanted to play a game where I could explore before being mercilessly pushed on to cram in as much as I could before the Time Runs Out.
Also "Far Cry 2". Just incredibly repetitive. A game I hate, just because it was made by Ubisoft Montreal, and they made Assassin's Creed -so should know better.
"Amnesia". Because I got scared.

Quite a few of my friends enjoyed it, but I haven't played so I can't say for much.febel said:
COD: Black Ops. Even for COD I found the campaign terrible, better than WaW but I couldn't sit through it nor the multiplayer. 2 Hours
Gears of War. I just could not understand the hype over it when I played it, I felt that it was trying too hard to do something I couldn't understand... that and gore should never be a major selling point. 2 Hours
Gears of War 2 on XBox - Just not gripping me.
Assasins Creed - XBox - Got bored.
Turok - Brought it cheap - played it once.. never again.
Two Worlds - Gave this 2 chances.. Felt robbed twice.
One the other hand, I saw Enchanted Arms mentioned earlier.. funnily enough, I beat that today. Probably won't play it again but it was a worthwhile journey... Life is Grind.
After playing Oblivion to death and being thoroughly entertained by it, I gave 2 two worlds a chance. It started out bad with dreadful voice acting and character models.. then it got worse. The first time I played it, I was drunk so I gave it another chance. Mistake.
Turok tried to play the game for me and when it finally gave me control, it was so hard to control the aim that it was unplayable. The camera shifting in and out of 1st person mode threw me.. why do I need to see the climb ladder animation? Honestly.. it's just ladders! And the Quick time events??!! Simply Bad.
Assasins Creed held my interest for longer but in the end, I tired of it.
I just cant seem to get into Gears at all for some reason. Lots of others love it, maybe it's me.
yet I can sink 90+ hours into a grindfest like Enchanted Arms, 100+ hours into Oblivion, Can't remember the time I put into Blue Dragon but it was substantial. Go figure.

yeah after disc 1 i almost chucked it out the window i was so boredPariah164 said:
also Just Cause 2 they found a way to make blowing shit up get old 0_o
Summoner and Dragon Age: Origins for very similar reasons: The combat was somewhat basic/boring, there was very little to do in the way of true side-quests, and the overall theme of these two games was altogether too dark for my tastes.
Radiata Stories: TOO! MANY!! CHARACTERS!!! This is coming from a die-hard fan of Suikoden, but this game not only had too many characters to collect (Over 150) and each character ONLY had ONE ability that they could use, but the tediousness of collecting everyone, mixed with some of the most unbelievably short recruitment times for some characters, was just too much. I shit you not, there was one character that you had to spend a full in-game week talking to between the hours of 10-12am every day, and another person whose recruitment window opened when you would return from one mission, require recruiting about five people beforehand, and whose window would close THE SECOND YOU WENT HOME AND RESTED.

- Plenty of crappy FPS storylines that just shut me down from finishing.
- Bionic Command, was just monkey shit.
- Inferno(or infernal) crappy story and gameplay. (Sadly I lost my reciept)
- Assasins Creed, cause when I started playing it, I had just finised Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
And SPESIFICALLY Command & Conquer 4... That was one of my biggest RTS disappointments.
